Abstract
The active part of the suit comprises in part one layer (,) facing the body and another one facing away from it, both of a gas-tight, low stretch textile material, which are joined together at connecting positions (,) by gluing, welding or sewing and thereby create hollow spaces (,), which are connected together via valves (,) and can be put under pressure. Between the regions, which comprise the layers (,)—bands (,)—connecting parts (,) are arranged, which transmit tensile forces only. If the hollow spaces (,) are put under a gas pressure proportional to the z-acceleration, then the suit builds up a compensating applied pressure and thus frees the organism of the pilot from the loading effects of such accelerations. By a suitable choice of the width of the bands (,) in conjunction with the radius of the enclosed part of the body a compensating pressure to the hydrostatic pressure, proportional to the acceleration, of the body fluids can be set up.
